What is stopping the wind from blowing it over?

It has several anchors for the bottom base.These anchors that can be used for concrete or asphalt. Ours hasn't budged in winds gusts over 40 MPH.

We put down a couple pieces of plywood and screwed down the back. Works perfect

I bought some weather treated ply wood cut to the size of the bottom and over laid some rubber matting. It has 4 or 6 anchor points so I anchored it at every point through the mat and the wood. It's been raining and gusting wind up to about 50 MPH and it hasn't moved or leaked.

Not sure what the wind bars are. If you provide a picture, I may be able to assist.

If you live in a windy area, you may have trouble with the wind catching it--

I live in Florida near the beach and have a lot of wind. I have not screwed the unit down yet but it does make a little noise and move around a little on really windy days. I would say to just try it for a while it may depend on location. the top does a good job letting the wind through.

Obviously, in a real severe wind, it MAY blow over, however: also very unlikely. The plastic is very durable and rugged so, to ensure that it wouldn't, I simply drilled a tiny hole in the bottom of it and put a couple coffee cans of sand in it, and duct taped the tiny hole. It's not going anywhere now, gauranteed ! : )

Mine is under a pergola (which is attached to my deck) and have never had a problem with wind. I actually have 3 shades under there and not a problem all season.

The other people are right about the wind. Plus, I think if it's too bright outside it can effect the controls.

I have one I ordered in May 2014 and it has held up to some very gusty winds although we try to close it when it's windy, we sometimes forget. The umbrella has cutouts at the top to allow the breeze to flow through without blowing over as long as it is stabilized at the bottom. Hope this helps!

We dug a hole in the ground and poured cement so it would stay. I'd say if there is a heavy wind and it doesn't fit well, it could blow away. This is the best clothes dryer I've bought.

No. However it forms a closed solid unit upon assemblage.wind hasn't been able to blow it away.For me, it's OK.

We get a lot of wind and lots of strong wind gusts . We never put anything on the cover, and it has never blown off.

Readjust your shield so wind deflects over your head. The shield is very adjustable. I have no such problem with mine

Hi it depends. I took some card board and covered it in foil. We can walk behind it after it was adjusted. On a windy day it goes off from time to time

Wind maybe, but snow and rain will not run off canopy and cause it to collapse if not removed. I tried to add extra support too help stop water from accumulating but it never worked.

I have had it for quite a while and it has never blown away. As long as water is in it, I would think it would take a gale force wind to blow it away.

I'd say it would need to be somehow secured into the ground. I would think a strong wind could definitely blow it over. We have ours screwed down onto a wooden deck.

It does have a few stops between all the way down and all the way up. Just don't let the wind catch it.
